Chapter 100 The name of the country is Da Chu
The Jin people also ordered the eunuch Deng Shukai to list the list of kings, princes, grandsons, concubines, and emperors who had not left the city, and ordered Kaifeng Yin Xu Bingzhe to hand them over according to the number. Xu Bingzhe ordered the five families in Fangxiang to protect themselves and not hide them privately, and finally found more than 3,000 people, tied their sleeves together, and sent them to Jinying. The Jurchens plundered all the clans of the Song Dynasty very clearly, naturally in order to cut off the thoughts of the people of the Central Plains, so as to lay a good ruling foundation for the newly appointed puppet regime.
It took some twists and turns for the prince's affairs, but Sun Pu, who had been very cooperative in making trouble for them. He is a minister of Tuogu, he knows that he is entrusted with great trust, and now the person is disappearing in his hands, and he can't explain it no matter what. So he plotted to hide the crown prince from the people, and then find a person who looked similar to the prince, and then beheaded several chamberlains in the palace and substituted for the dead ghosts, and then killed a few death row prisoners. When the Jurchens begged for it, they deduced that it was the chamberlain who wanted to kidnap the crown prince from the city, but who knew that the matter was revealed, and he was beaten to death by the angry people in the city, and the crown prince was also killed in the chaos.
But Sun Pu looked for five days and no one was willing to do it, during which Wu Ge, a Xuanzan Sheren, wanted to take someone to protect the prince and forcibly break through, but Sun Fu was afraid of danger and refused to agree. Until the early morning of March 5, Zhao Huan sent another letter, saying: "I have been deposed by the Jin State because of my dishonesty, you can send the prince out as soon as possible, appease the people, and don't obstruct the Jin people, so as not to implicate me." ”
And the emperor Zhao Ji also wrote the words "Quickly order the prince to come" next to him, Sun Fu had no choice but to hand over the prince, and said: "I am the prince's master, and I should live and die with the prince." "After that, he handed over the remaining duties to Wang Shiyong and escorted the prince out of the palace by himself.
Sun Pu acted so. It's really breathtaking. When he was ordered to be in danger, he should know the weight of the entrustment of the Dao, and if he was powerless. You can ask Zhao Huan to choose another sage, but at this time, the matter is out of control before he chooses to leave and pick a pick. seems to be a mistake, trapping Zhao Huan in ignorance, but Zhao Huan uses mostly rhetoric. When he left, he handed over the big seal of the left-behind division into the hands of Wang Shiyong, and from then on, the Song ministers headed by Wang Shiyong took the will of the Jin people as their will, and the horse's head was looking forward.
The crown prince and the queen drove out of the city. The people in the city who heard the news rushed to Nanxun Gate, and as the car drove away, the prince was still young, and he couldn't stop sticking his hand out of the window along the way. He cried out to the people who had come to see him off: "The people save me! The people save me! And the people also wailed and wept, and the cry of the land south of the city shook the heavens.
Seeing that it was getting late, Fan Qiong was afraid of extraneous branches, so he hurriedly led his troops to drive the people away, and drove around in a car. The orphans and widows could only cry and wipe their tears, and shouted for help through the sound of the sedan chair. Shimin saw that Fan Qiong and his soldiers were like wolves and tigers, holding knives and guns, how could they dare to touch this kind of mold, no one in the city could save him...
As for who is the emperor of the Song Dynasty. At first, the person that Zong Han liked was Sima Guang's grandson. Although they originated in the grassy mountains, they also knew the name of Sima Guang, and they attached great importance to the book "Zizhi Tongjian", and when they had to ask for the book, they clearly stated that they should have this book. disdainful of Wang Anshi's articles and books. loves the house and Wu, and is also respectful to Sima Guang's descendant, Sima Pu.
When the Jin people left Zhao Huan and did not want to return to the car, Sima Pu, who was an entourage, wrote to Han Han. blamed him for his treachery, and Sticky Han just ignored it. When Sima Pu heard that the Jin people wanted to set him up to replace the Song Dynasty. even more sternly refused, and did not hesitate to die to serve the king and father.
In the face of Sima Pu's non-cooperation. Jin Ren had to turn his attention to Zhang Bangchang. This greedy for life and fear of death, timid as a mouse, the former Dazai made a deep impression on them, and he was the chief minister of the country, so he was naturally famous. When he went out, King Kang Zhao Gou's expression remained unchanged, but he was frightened to the point of being weak and sifting chaff, which is a clear proof of his timidity. As for Zhang Bangchang's treachery, it is even more known to the whole country, and there is no need to discuss it, so only he is the most suitable candidate for the puppet emperor.
On the same day that the crown prince was sent out of Beijing, Wang Shiyong, who stayed behind in Tokyo, convened everyone to discuss the matter of supporting the new king. Song Qiyu immediately wrote down the three words "Zhang Bangchang", and said that the Jin people had decided to make Zhang Bangchang the emperor.
Wang Shiyong and Fan Qiong were ordered by the will of the Jin people to order hundreds of civil and military officials, military and civilian monks to jointly elect Zhang Bangchang as the emperor, and the petition was named, including those who were resigned from office at home and left to serve as palace envoys. Wang Shiyong was afraid that others would not second, so he personally set an example, wrote a persuasion form, and forced other officials to follow suit.
Most of the officials did not dare to fight, so they had to follow and write the seal. Only a few ministers led by Cheng Qin Hui in the imperial history were able to fulfill their duties, not only refused to write the seal, but also fiercely protested with it, and resolutely demanded that the descendants of the Zhao family be established as emperors, but then they were kidnapped and sent to Jinying, and no one objected after that.
But when the Jin envoy told Zhang Bangchang about wanting to make Zhang Bangchang the emperor, the result made them puzzled. Originally, I expected that Zhang Bangchang would be grateful and obedient when he heard it, but Zhang Bangchang strongly opposed it, and even refused at the cost of dying.
When the Jin people saw Zhang Bangchang like this, they were surprised and felt ridiculous, the Song people were really too difficult for them to understand. The strange and varied performances made them dumbfounded and puzzled. So Jin Ren forcibly invited him to Zong Han and left the account. When the two of them said that the hundred officials in the city were supporting, Zhang Bangchang behaved unexpectedly, looking for death and life just didn't follow, he knew that this was not a trivial matter, it was a big crime of plotting a big rebellion and the nine clans.
Zong Han didn't have such patience, and threatened Zhang Bangchang that if he refused to be the emperor, the Jin soldiers would bloody the entire Bianjing City, and would kill the men, women, and children in Kaifeng City. In this way, a very paradoxical scenario in Chinese history has emerged. When the Jin army went south, the Kaifeng army and civilians, regardless of men, women and children, rose up to resist the Jin soldiers under the command of Li Gang; Now that Bianjing City has been breached, the people of Jin Guo said that if Zhang Bangchang is not a puppet, in our words today, if he is not a traitor, he will kill all the people in the city.
In this way, the common people pointed the finger at Zhang Bangchang, saying that you can't implicate us, if you are not the emperor, we will be finished, and resolutely demand that Zhang Bangchang be a traitor. The ministers also repeatedly persuaded the table, saying that you are suitable, and you must be the emperor.
Under the strong pressure of Jin Guo, Zhang Bangchang had no choice but to give in. On March 15, the Jin State officially canonized Zhang Bangchang as the emperor of the Great Chu State, responsible for ruling and managing Henan, Hebei, Shanxi and other occupied areas of the Jin State.
The strong enemy pressed the border, the ministers persuaded him to enter, and the voice of the common people was also very high, Zhang Bangchang had no choice but to accept the order of the Jin State, and ordered him to establish the country as Da Chu and set the capital in Jinling. After receiving the order, he couldn't stop crying, but he knelt down in the direction of Jin Guo, and respectfully accepted the edict handed down by Jin Taizong. Rushed to the palace to receive the courtiers' congratulations. The old man set out from Shangshu Province and got on the horse crying, more sad and desperate than rushing to the execution ground.
Zhang Bangchang walked to the Daqing Palace, saw the empty throne, touched the scene, sorrow came from it, crying loudly, he cried, the ministers below also remembered that the old monarch went to the distant north, life and death were uncertain, and they all cried with him. Thinking about it, Zhang Bangchang's heart was also very conflicted at this time, not only knowing that Lu Dao couldn't sit on the throne at all, but also thinking about being addicted to the emperor, and he didn't know what to do.
When accepting the worship of hundreds of officials, Zhang Bangchang did not dare to sit down, but stood with his hands facing the east, and did not dare to call himself "I" when talking to hundreds of officials, but called himself "Yu", but Wang Shiyong, Fan Qiong, Wu Qi, Mo Yan and other scum, but one by one they thought that they had made a great contribution to supporting the new monarch, and they were so beautiful that their eyebrows danced, and they looked a little more excited than Zhang Bangchang.
At this time, there were also people who were unwilling, Wu Ge gathered hundreds of soldiers, who knew that when he led his men down to the Jinshui River, what he saw in his eyes was already the soldiers led by Fan Qiong who were already waiting for the battle. Until this time, Wu Ge had not been able to know that his incident had long been detected, Fan Qiong beheaded Wu Ge, and more than 100 of his sons and subordinates became ghosts under the knife. When the news came out, both knew and didn't know were stunned.
Later, Zhang Bangchang, on behalf of his puppet Chu regime, came to Qingcheng to thank the two marshals of the Jin State and put forward seven requirements, namely: first, ask not to destroy the mausoleum and temple of the Zhao family; 2. Request for exemption from the demand for gold silk; 3. Request to keep the city tower of Bianjing; Fourth, it is requested that the Jinling Palace be built in three years, and then the capital will be moved there; Fifth, request that the Kingdom of Jin withdraw its troops within five days; Sixth, it is requested to be called the emperor and called the emperor of Great Chu; 7. Ask for a reward of gold or silver.
After solving their worries, Muhan and Zongwang officially began to withdraw their troops and return north. On the morning of March 27, Zhang Bangchang took the civil and military officials of the puppet Chu State and the military and civilians to go out of the Nanxunmen Gate to Wuyue Temple, and bid farewell to the second emperor in the direction of Jinying.
The Jin army captured, queens, princes, concubines, emperors, clans, princes, ministers, and plundered palace people, chamberlains, advocates, craftsmen and even innocent people and other more than 14,000 people, due to the looting of prisoners, too much property, the Jin army can only retreat in phases and batches, they were divided into seven batches, Han did not escort Zhao Ji and most of the princes, grandsons, princesses, concubines to Huazhou, while Zong Han escorted Zhao Huan and some civil and military ministers to Zhengzhou north.
This is probably the most noble group of prisoners of war in the entire history of China, including two emperors, dozens of empresses, concubines, princes, princesses, and a large number of palace maids, eunuchs, craftsmen, and so on. Under the escort of the Jin army, he was miserable and miserable, and he went north and embarked on an unknown road... (To be continued......)
